Abstract
Introducing aspheric lenses in optical design broadens the horizons of possibilities and opens up new way to correct aberrations or creating effects that are not possible otherwise. Manufacturing these aspheric surfaces has come a long way during the last 15 years. This article discusses the state of the art concerning optical design, manufacturing, surface form tolerances and roughness to show the possibilities in hand.
